Abstract

Chiral phosphoramidite–olefin hybrid ligands were found to be effective in the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of N-arylbenzamides with vinyl ethers. The reaction is catalyzed by a hydroxo­iridium catalyst coordinated with the hybrid ligand to give the corresponding products in high yields with high branch selectivity and enantioselectivity.
